Modeling of Space Radiation and Nuclear Data

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

A brief overview will be given on the relations between space radiation models and nuclear data. I will compare several deterministic and Monte Carlo transport models in their predictions in typical space radiation environments including galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events. I will then discuss what nuclear cross section data are expected to most affect the assessment of the space radiation risk to astronauts from galactic cosmic rays.
